I am in need of some major advice/help. I have a 3 week old Congo African Grey rescued from people who really had no idea what they are doing. Butanyways... Despite trying to increase the number of feedings and increase in amount of food, it still remains no bigger than a 10 day to 2 week old. It's eyes are not open yet, there are no pin feathers...only white fluff. Feet are still white. Beak strangely resembles that of a Timneh...white with black edges. Other than that everything "seems" fine. I know for a fact that there is no burnt crop. Droppings are normal consistancy. Crop is emptying fully at least once a day if not ALL the time. "Stands" and reacts to the sound of my voice. Cries sound normal. I am not new to hand-raising, but new to hand-raising on my own. I know a good bit, but there are still some things I haven't experienced and need a little help with. All of my other babies I have hand raised were "normal" but this poor thing is just a big mystery to me. Any advice as to what might be keeping this poor baby so small and what I might be able to do? Could I be missing something? Also, I worry about aspiration of food. Is there a sign I need to look for if that is happening? Have never had that problem in training or own my own.
